When a very special teen/YA debut novel,
She, Myself and I (#SheMyselfAndI) by
Emma Young (
@EmmaELYoung) came in to
Little Tiger Press, the art director Paul Coomey (
@MrCoomey) knew he needed a cover artist who was adept at combining a complex narrative in an arresting visual. Levente Szabo (
@briskartist) was the first person he and the team at Little Tiger thought of and luckily, Levente was available to take on the project. We gave him free rein to apply his technique of overlapping and merging illustrations to the intertwined stories of Rosa and Sylvia. Levente’s initial ideas were promising and thought provoking:
The idea of Sylvia falling through the ice led us to further explore the relationship of what this evokes to Rosa’s journey to finding her identity. Levante pushed this idea in a further series of concepts:
He then built on these and explored different colourways:
Which led us to our final cover!
She, Myself and I is published on 8th March 2018.
It is a very special debut novel for teens/YAs and perfect for fans of
The Art of Being Normal, Extraordinary Means and
Faceless.
